When Leonardo da Vinci had trouble understanding what had happened to him when he was transported onto Tau's planet, CaptainJaneway likened his situation to that of a sparrow, only interested in hunting insects and singing for a companion and not knowing anything about the politics of Florence. (VOY: "Concerning Flight")

Early models of da Vincis flying machines were based on bats or sparrows, Janeway suggested however to base them on hawks instead. (VOY: "Scorpion")

Well, that looks absolutely nice! That way, we can keep the Ba'ku and Risian birds for the moment, and replace the images, should other birds that have no planet page where we could put them, show up. --Jörg 12:48, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Now this conversation has finished, I deleted the images from this talkpage, to save space. ZsingayaTalk 09:04, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)

When a user serches "bird," they are imediatly directed to the species. I belive that there should be a refrence to the Bird-of-Prey and Warbird, as well as any other thing with "bird" in it. I wasn't sure, is there a Disembagulation page with all of this stuff, and if there is, shouldn't it be linked to the serch "bird"? – 7th Tactical 05:34, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

I disagree. If you want Bird-of-prey, search for that. If you want Warbird, search for that. A "bird", on its own, is just that. --OuroborosCobratalk 05:47, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

I'd have to agree with Cobra. Besides "warbird", "Bird-of-Prey", and Great Bird of the Galaxy, all other types of birds should be listed on this page. We could have a see also section for the other three, though. --From Andoria with Love 06:30, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Done. I'm keeping it with just those three, especially keeping Bird-of-Prey and Warbird going to the disambig pages rather to to things like D'deridex-class or the multitudes of other Birds-of-Prey and Warbirds. This keeps the list short, and keeps it from duplicating those disambigs. --OuroborosCobratalk 06:53, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
